Courier's Roots: The New Beginning
Chapter 1: Goodbye Oliver!
SPOILERS, I DO NOT OWN THE FALLOUT SERIES!
It was around Dusk, in the Lucky 38, the Courier was with his three best friends, Boone, Arcade and Veronica. He was looking out on the New Vegas Strip, the NCR threw things around, looking for new technology.
A NCR trooper ran towards him,
"Excuse me, Mr. Larkin? A note from General Oliver." He said handing the courier a note
He looked at it…
Our Courier Friend,
I need to speak with you in my office at Hoover Dam, just say that I sent you, also, be careful, word is there are still Legion camps in the area.
General Oliver
HOOVER DAM 9:37 PM
He entered General Oliver's office, looking around, he noticed the office was clean, General Oliver was packing papers in a suitcase.
He sneezed, noticing the courier, and his friends.
"Ah, there's the hero of Hoover Dam, come in!" He said gleefully
"So your office sure is…empty." The courier said trying to make small talk
"As much as I love this place, I have to leave." He said packing his gun into his holster and threw some more files in a suitcase.
"The NCR wants me somewhere near Arizona, some Pre-War tech crap."
"So…why'd you call me here?"
"Well, before I leave, I just wanted to say a thank you for supporting the NCR at Hoover Dam," He said giving the courier a miniature NCR flag with a stain.
"Is…that ketchup?" Veronica asked
"Um…what was I saying, oh yeah! The NCR owes you one, one for killing that asshole, and the battle, and the…well, we owe you! The other thing is that there's going to be a change around here, I would tell you, but well, I don't understand it myself. What's going to happen is that Colonel Moore will take over at Hoover Dam and Hanlon is going to be her advisor or something"
Boone walked past the courier and saluted General Oliver,
"Sir, it's an honor to meet you!"
General Oliver stared at Boone like if he were a crazy person,
"Um…at ease solider…uh"
Boone went back in place with the rest of the squad.
"Oh also, those Enclave guys who helped us! Do you know them?"
"Let's just say I have my friends." The courier said with a smirk
General Oliver chuckled,
Colonel Moore walked in with a box full of stuff. Setting it down on Oliver's desk, stretching.
General Oliver grabbed his briefcase and walked next to Colonel Moore,
"Is that all you brought?" Asked Colonel Moore
"Yeah, paperwork, paperwork, spare clothing and some underwear."
"You can't fit clothes in there!"
"I know that's why I'm wearing layers of clothes and underwear!"
General Oliver sighed, Colonel Moore saluted him. General Oliver pulled her in for a big hug.
The Courier heard some muttering, Colonel Moore pushed General Oliver
"No I'm not giving you my number!"
"Eh, worth the shot. Well, see ya all in Hell!" He said and walking out, winking at Veronica
(Oliver needs some love too!)
Colonel Moore sat on her new chair, but the chair broke,
"I'm keeping the screws to the chair!" General Oliver screamed
"Oh, damn it!" Colonel Moore said standing up and placing her things.
"So, uh what's going to happen?" The Courier asked
"Easy, General Oliver is being sent to Arizona to retrieve some pre-war tech. Only thing is that the place is flooded with Vipers and raiders. So I'm going to take over at Hoover Dam, Chief Hanlon will move in my old office and be my chief advisor."
"Good, good. Hanlon owes me a favor…" The Courier had no idea why he said that.
"Hm… good for you. Oh! Speaking of which he still owes me, from that game of Caravan!" She said and ran out
"Well…the NCR are a bunch of odd fellows!" Arcade said
"Well, I think it's time to go," Boone said
A FEW DAYS LATER
"We're lost!" Veronica screamed
"We're not lost! I just don't know where we are!" The Courier screamed back
"How do you get lost by not following a gigantic tower!"
"Look!" Veronica said pointing
"A caravan, can you ask them where we are?"
"Oh look, a caravan can you ask them where we are?" The Courier mocked
SLAP! Veronica slapped him across the face
"Jesus! Yes ma'am!"
A FEW HOURS LATER
The Courier opened the gates to New Vegas and walked in, a NCR trooper ran up to him.
"Oh my God! Are you…yes you are! Can I have your autograph?"
"SHOVE IT!" The Courier said pushing him
"He's in a bad mood, but I'll sure he'll be happy to later after he takes a hot radioactive shower!" Veronica said
All of a sudden, the sound of a helicopter blade was heard. Everyone looked to the sky to see a Verti-Bird passing by.
"Arcade, where were those remnants last?"
"Well, they sent me a post card from DC, Cannibal wanted to visit his grandson. He's famous because of some Brotherhood, water thing."
"Why would there be a Verti-Bird coming here? Maybe Crocker might know something." The Courier said
They ran towards the NCR embassy, to see soldiers pointing Fat Men in the sky.
(The weapons!)
Ambassador Crocker stood there,
"Alright! Fire at my signal!"
The Courier ran to Crocker
"DON'T FIRE!"
"Why not!"
"They could be friendlies!"
"Or they could be enemies, I'm not taking any chances!"
"Well, if you miss, those Mini-Nukes will come down and…"
"Oh! That would be bad!"
"Ready to fire at your command! Hurry up, these things are heavy!" The solider said
"Put them down! Don't fire!"
The soldiers dropped their weapons, and stretched.
"Now, I'm going to type at my terminal. When you talk to me, I will focus on you and somehow type on the terminal at the same time! No, really, hasn't ANYBODY thought this was weird!"
The Courier just shrugged.
